Whoah going out on a limb there buddy.

is it though? Season 5 was clearly filler in hopes of having Book 6 ready so they could have more book material to go on. But when that didn't happen, they had to push on without the books. They finished season 6 as best they could without the books, and knew they book 6 would never be out in time to help them, so they were in way over their head and they decided they needed to wrap this show up asap.

I firmly expect this show to wrap up with a happy ending, maybe a scooby doo ending, but definitely not the bittersweet ending we've been promised.

so are we thinking happy LotR ending, shocking scooby doo ending, or the bittersweet bookish ending?
Because i've decided that i'm terrified we're gonna just get a cheesy LotR ending [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

that said, new season 8 casting call is out and i saw a video (https://youtu.be/Qs3EadxJrG0), and in there it mentions that some of the roles film in June of 2018.. while I had been holding out hope, doesn't like like we're getting Season 8 until 2019. but that said, filming in June tells me they are going to be filming some post-winter scenes, which tells me that the Night King will lose and we will see spring again. Could also just be a non winter flashback or vision i suppose. but i do think the happy spring ending is more likely

Cersei will agree if Jon says the right thing = Jon says wrong thing

Literally every idea Jon has had has resulted in someone saving his skin, or making a situation harder than it needs to be. As a wise woman once said; you know nothing Jon Snow.

Well, Cersei wasn't going to agree anyway as we found out, so Jon wasn't wrong to profess his fealty in that situation. And you have to admit that sticking to his guns and going to Dragonstone ended up being the right call.

Definitely this one, although being so wrong about Jorah means anything I say about GoT should be taken with a healthy dose of skepticism. I'm going to guess the White Walkers will be annihilated, but at great cost to Dany & co.

If we get Jon Snow giving a speech then charging like Arargorn then the laziness of the writers would be confirmed. Last season had a lot of predictability, but it was also a buil-up/filler season. HBO does that with their super-series format tho'. Proly lots of deaths to come (Tyrion sill die proly 2/3 through the season) and Bronn better get his fucking castle.0

Lulz~Sect · #**3509** 10-15-2017, 11:00 AM

I'd love to see the Whitewalkers win but obviously they won't.

Would love to see a show about zombies set in a fantasy world. The walking dead but less shitty + fantasy setting? Sign me up

I don't know. I'm hoping for a Lord of Light script call back after the final sequence, Jon drops to the ground having served his purpose. Viewers discover he was never really alive, rather the Lord of Light was working through him.

I think we get the spring ending, but with only maybe 2 or 3 surviving characters. Really to make it a good ending, Jon needs to go back to being dead again and it needs to be done the right way.

D&D can't write those kind of scenes, nor can they pace a story correctly up to that kind of scene, so fuck season 8?
